Murderer Captured.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 28.-James
Reed, an alleged murderer, was captured
here to day. Two years agoa United States
soldier, in company with three citizens, mar-
dered an old jeweler named Block for his
valuables, in Matamoras, Mexico. The
murderers we're captured aud sentenced to
be shot Reed and Williams escaped, stole
fine horses and rec.ossed into Mexico and
were present at the execution of their fe-
lows in crime. Reed made his way to Cali
fornia where it is alleged he committed
numerous robberes and has slain two men.
An international complication now arises
Mexico has a sentence Of death passed u2on
him and California wants him for crime
He denies being the party wanted, but Of
licers and soldiers say they cannot be mis-.
taken in this case

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

Especial Cor of the Alexandra IAEEiiE.I
RICHMOND, Va, April 9th, 1ooI,-Ihere
was barely aquorum in either house to-day
when the General Assembly re- convened si-
ter recess of exactly three weeks Inc
wheels OF legislation ran smoothly though
and considerable business was transacted IN
the way of advancing upon the calandar
bills Off local nature and the passage OF a
few private bills in the Senate. One very
important measure which the Senate passed
was a joint resolution TO limit the time Tor
which licenses are granted. The House will
in all probability concur il this resolution
to morrow notwithstanding objections that
will likely be made to it on the part OF the
republicans. Senator Gordon, of Orange,
is the patron of this joint resolution which
is intended to cripple the rendering OF cou'
pons for licenses pending negotiations with
representatives of the foreign bondho!d-
ers.
The incorporators named in the bill! to IN:
corporate the Warrenton and Marshall Road
Company, introduced in the House to-day
by Mr.. Payne, are Albert Fletcher, John a.
Spilman, James P. Jeffries, VIM. E. Gaskins,
Joseph w. Blackwell, Enoch Jeffries. r T..
Barry, James G. Scott, a. G. Smith, VIM.
H. Davis, W. T. Smith, Joseph Jeffrie7,

r. TAYLOR Scott, E. NJ Jetlries, John Scott,
Joseph Mccormick. A. F. Rose, Eustace
JeHries, Wm. c. Marshall, VIM. Johnson
and T. f. Pattie. The object of the compa.
by is to make maintain and keep in good
order and macadamize the county road
from Warrenton to Centre and Marshall
district lne and for this purpose the stock
holders may at the first general meeting
make such assessments upon themselves as
they may deem proper not exceeding the
amount Of subscription. The bill then in
detail explains how the subscription or as
sessments shall be collected by the treasurer
of Fauquer county.
There is an idea prevalent that the debt
commissioners got some experimentation
from Col. Frank G. Ruhin, yesterday, in the
shape of tabulated statements, and that Col.
RufIin will be invited to attend the sessions
of the joint commission and participate in
the proceedings. The truth is Col. Rutln
was called upon as second auditor to furnish
the commission with certain Information In
relation to the finances of the State, and be
has complied with this request. AS to Col.
Ruf1in attending the sessions of the COM
mission, hardly think that he ever had
any such idea.
Rev. w. W. Landrum, talented and
popular Baptist minister OF this city, offered
up fervent prayer in the House of Dele
gates to. day, in which he invoked the as
sistance of the Most High to aid the com
mission to bring about an amicable settle.
ment of the State debt that would be salts

member of the commission remarked upon
the floor Of the House, where few persons
could hear him, II know we will settle the
matter now, as the saints are with u.s."

DOROTHY RAISES A RoW.-Innocent little
Dorothy Whitney, cooling softly in her gild-
ed cradle, wota not of the storms that are
raised on her account The congregation of
St. Johns Church are in stew. 10 fact, if
report be true, they are abont to boil over.
1t is we'll known that Mrs. Whitney wanted
the child to be christcned at the house, but
DR.. Leonard disapproved, and said that the
church was the only place.for such cere-
mony. Mrs. Whitney reminded him Of
numberess cases where children bad been
christencd at home, but the Doctor insisted
on sticking to the rules of the church-that
private baptisms should only be allowed in
cases of sickness or inability ofeither parent
to be at church. When. finally, the church
was decided upon and the card system Of
admission YVES arranged, the congregation
kicked and said that it was their right TO
attend. Then another controversy arose,
which was compromised by allowing the
congregation to go in the galleries, while
those holding cards were given seats on the
floor. 1t is said that when Mrs. Whitney
reached the church she looked up at the
galleries and, turning to DR.. Leonard, asked
who those people up there were; that she
saw number Of her friends who wanted
seats, and the galleries must be cleared. DR..
Leonard replied that it was Gods house and
he could not think of doing such thing,
and so the congregation held their vantage
ground, but when they heagl of the request
that Mrs. Whitney is said to have made
their wrath began to simmer and then to
boil until it now resembles nothing short OF
the witches cauldron. Mrs. Whitney's
friends do not believe that she asked to
have the galleries cleared and say that such
thing would be entirely out of keeping
with her character-W Wash. Cor. Bait. liner

teen years, slept in the house with her.
Beecher had big bottle Of laudanum in the
